About the Film
Set in rural Andhra Pradesh during the 1980s, 'Peddi' follows a spirited villager who unites his community through sports to protect their pride against a powerful rival. The ETimes review for the film reads, "Visually, the film is elevated by R. Rathnavelu's cinematography. Whether capturing the harsh realities of life in the village or Peddi's internal struggles, the camera lends scale and emotion to the story. Several frames linger long after the scene ends, making the visuals one of the film's strongest assets." The review also noted, "The supporting cast, however, receives uneven treatment. Talented actors like Divyenndu, Shiv Rajkumar and Boman Irani are introduced with promise but are gradually sidelined, leaving their character arcs underdeveloped. Among them, Shiv Rajkumar stands out as Gour Naidu, bringing warmth and conviction to his role as Peddi's mentor and guide."
